atm am on pretend pooter [aka, lappy] in sunroom, rather than proper pooter [aka tower] in study, coz today the monthly vacuuming of tower's power-supply air-filter, & both casing cooling-fans & their filters, is due. given i am comprehensively the laziest dropbear in the entire gumtree, i go to nearly any lengths to avoid any vacuuming. ergo, lappy it is, for a few hours anyway til i can browbeat myself into doing the right thing, sigh.

@mike_k or fwiw you could use @eznix's ezarcher ISOs, which gives you a pure

base [ie no non-arch repos added], & a vanilla DE [ie, ready for the user's personal styling choices, without first having to undo a stranger's own taste choices], thru a simple easy calamares installer

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Women using Linux is a scandal! 🚨 In a shocking twist, it's revealed that using Linux magically transforms you into a man. 🤯 Forget decades of gender studies, the real test is your OS. Next up: Mac users are secretly aliens. 👽

Apparently I'm not a woman because I use Linux

I can't stop thinking about this stupid interaction I had while playing an online game with strangers. For context, my username is very obviously feminine...

@BryceWrayTX with respect, your "logic" here entirely escapes me, coz:
1. in

you have no AUR [ofc!]
2. in

& all its clones, the official repos remain completely safe & unaffected
3. in

& all its clones, the use of the AUR is entirely voluntary by the user, not in any way needed for one's system to otherwise work, ergo...
4. in

& all its clones, a cautious decision by the user to NOT use the AUR, then places them in an equivalent situation as #1

ipso facto, there was actually nothing stopping you retaining your CachyOS just fine, & simply never using the AUR

@kalpa congrats on the latest manifestations of your hard work. atm i don't have #kalpa on HW, only a couple of VMs, so this matter is not mission-critical for me, but i was still wondering... for peeps with existing installations, will we get all the new goodies just via our normal system updates, or will there be a point [eg, when Beta releases?] where it would be better to do a clean install from the latest ISO?

happily* pootering away in sunroom, on lappy, fer hours n hours

got up to slither into study briefly for a usb stick

slithered back out to lappy, hoisted my corpulent flesh-sack back onto seat, noticed lappy was not as i left her

she suffered a fatal kernel panic in the 42 seconds i was gorn, & had dumped me to a corresponding rescue screen telling me of the plight, & that i needed to reboot

well, butter me sideways, you petulant penguin!

rebooted, did my weekly updates that included kernel 7.0.10 in lieu of the stroppy 7.0.7

can't grumble too much though, coz tis quite nice to know lappy missed me so much... more than either of those bloody teddybears have ever done fer me!

*this being a highly qualified, quite possibly legally legless, descriptor, obvs 🤪
